How to Find a Street Car Race

Street car racing can be a thrilling event to view. However, this automotive contest can pose more challenges than a simple need for speed. Because many street car races are actually illegal, finding a legitimate race may prove rather difficult.

Instructions

Difficulty: Challenging

1. Check with the local speedways to see if any sanctioned events are coming up any time soon. A legal street car race will be the easiest to find because it will likely be advertised and open to the public.
2. Talk to members of the racing community to find out if there is an unofficial group that might support street car racing under the table.
3. Go to areas that support car culture. Downtown strips that are known as cruising grounds may offer a way into the world of illegal street car racing.
4. Read the classifieds in automotive magazines. Often you'll find these publications feature unofficial invitations to a street car race.
5. Keep a low profile when you make inquiries into the venues and times for an illegal street car race. Bringing attention to yourself will only make getting information more difficult than it already is.

Tips & Warnings

• Remember that whenever you become involved in illegal activities, even as a bystander, you may be subject to physical danger as well as legal punishment.
• Never go to a street car race where you don't know any of the other spectators or participants. If you do, you may be putting yourself in extreme danger.
